The support and passion this video has garnered is MORE than I could’ve ever hoped or prayed for! Thank you. Thank you SO MUCH, from the bottom of my heart! 

If you haven’t watched yet, PLEASE WATCH! It’s a MUST! I guarantee you will learn and realize things you never even considered! WATCH. And after you do that, go and show Kat Graham’s twitter page some LOVE!!! She has been hurt and affected by this abuse more than us, and more than we can ever imagine! :/ So go! Show her some love, and then, fan fiction WRITERS, GET TO WRITING! Create YOUR OWN characters! YOUR OWN PLOT LINES! Include diversity, and treat ALL of your characters with LOVE! Hey, if TVD wouldn’t do it, WE’LL do it ourselves! ;) 

[bb8fan]

WATCH THIS! No matter what you ship! No matter if you like Bonnie Bennett or not! Regardless if you watch TVD or not! WATCH THIS. And if you’re enlightened or inspired to do so, share it on fb, share it on twitter, reblog it on tumblr! This is very important to me! We MUST educate ourselves, as television viewers AND as human beings more importantly!

Ok TVD can we stop with the Bozo love story?

No disrespect to all those Bonnie/Enzo shippers out there but … UGHHHH! We get it, damn! They fell in love sometime in the 3 years Damon was away, when Bonnie was at a low point and hurting over Damon deserting her. Apparently, it was a great love though we never really got to see much of it to actually invest or even care (Ok, maybe I’m projecting my own feeling there). But now he’s dead, a crispy critter, no, by now he’s probably just ashes (Thank you Abby, good looking out girl!)

C’mon, y’all have beat this dead horse enough, and at this point it seems cruel haunting Bonnie with the spirit of her dead BF. I’m sure you want us to feel that Bonnie and Enzo have some kind of timeless love that not even death can part them. But all I want is for Enzo’s ass to go burn in hell somewhere, off my screen.

Seriously though, we get it, you don’t deem Bonnie as worthy enough for love or having a happily ever after. Bonnie Bennett, as far as y’all are concerned, is only good for using, killing, tormenting, torturing, and sacrificing all so ‘everyone else’ can get their June weddings and happily ever afters. Hey, and y’all got one more episode to really drive that point home. I only ask that we do not have to endure another second of the Bozo love story, please. Because from the moment y’all put that mess on the screen I was watching like…

And another thing, What the fuck was up with Caroline in tonight’s episode? She can flash way across town and out into the boondocks to save Stefan after he was shot, but she couldn’t flash into the house from the back yard to save Bonnie and her kids? Really though? What those heels had her feet hurting? Yeah, I ain’t too happy about y’all making Damon stand around and do ‘nothing’ to save Bonnie either, but I’m chalking that up to ‘He thought Caroline and Stefan had it’. This is the final season and after 8 years I don’t know I was expecting better than this mess y’all are producing right now. I thought Bonnie would get better:

[bb8fan]

You better PREACH!!! YESSS!!! LOVED all of this! Although, Idk why we expected any better from the writers who have screwed us over time and time again... I feel foolish at this point. :(

[bb8fan]

PLEASE WATCH THIS if you’re a TVD shipper for any of these ships: Delena, Stelena, Bamon, Bonenzo, Steroline, Klaroline. It is my prayer you find this video to be enlightening and inspiring! As we near the end of this series that has meant so much to us ALL, let’s enjoy it. What would it mean to LET GO of the bitterness we’ve felt from the way we’ve been treated for shipping what we ship? What would it mean to completely LET GO of the anger - LET GO of the vengeful part of us that LONGS to rub our victory in the faces of others?! I would LOVE to see. Please, TVD fandom, LET IT GO, understand one another, have COMPASSION for one another! And watch this series end TOGETHER, celebrating with one another, and consoling one another!

Now THIS is what I call a gifset!!! Thanks, my friend! ;)

[bb8fan]

FREE of TVD.

As you all may have gathered from my latest post, I’m angry. 

I’m angry. I’m sad. And I’m bitter, to the point where it’s kept me up and pondering AT LEAST an hour at night, AND an hour in the morning! I just can’t seem to stop thinking how offended, unloved, and betrayed I feel. BUT! It’s unhealthy. 

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” (James 1:19-20)

I apologize if I offend any by quoting the Holy Bible! That is the LAST thing I want! It’s only that my faith is very important to me, and I find GREAT STRENGTH in it! My aim is to give you, my fellow TVD family, that same strength! So please, hear me out! ;)

Last week I was angry, and I took to twitter and made many posts to illustrate this! I also wrote my latest post, an article some of you might’ve read, entitled, “The Racist Treatment of Bonnie Bennett.” NOW. This article was meant to educate. - To make aware, and to inspire empathy on Bonnie’s behalf! BUT. I was angry when I wrote it, so I’m not sure it accomplished THIS, as much as it accomplished MORE FURY, INDIGNATION, and RAGE... Remember: “For the wrath of man worth not the righteousness of God” ;) 

Anyhow! Now I’m coming to rectify that, because I’ve learned... fury, indignation, and rage, are not emotions that bring about PEACE... Go figure! Lol. And I believe that PEACE is what we as a fandom need MOST, at this point in the game! I am just so appalled and disappointed by the way the show has turned out, but dwelling on those emotions aren’t going to change the outcome! All they’ll do is continue to disrupt my sleep, and take up hours of my precious time! So I’m done with that! How about YOU be done with me?

“Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.” (Luke 6:27-28)

Now this is a HARD concept for ME even, a Christian woman! So I know this is asking a lot from ones who may not even be believers! But I think we should try! I think we can do it! I believe we are much stronger than what we think! I mean, we HAVE to be, to have shipped such OTPs for SO LONG! So let’s give this a try!

Do GOOD to Julie Plec, the DE fanbase, and TVD fanbase as a whole, that “hates us!” Send blessings and words of love and encouragement to them, despite how they curse us! And let’s PRAY for Julie Plec Caroline Dries, the rest of the TVD show runners, and the CW Network, who have spitefully used us!

I know this is a task and request that seems IMPOSSIBLE! But I DARE you to give it a try! I dare you to search within yourselves, find something to be thankful about and appreciate these people for, and tweet them some LOVE! Send out 10 tweets, 5 tweets, 3 tweets, ONE TWEET, and just watch how it makes you feel! See how it FEELS to let go of the bitterness and anger, and chose...

LOVE! 

See how liberating it feels to forgive those WHO HAVEN’T EVEN APOLOGIZED! Witness the experience of being SET FREE from fury, indignation, and rage! Let’s take the shackles off our feet, so we can DANCE! I’ll start it off! As hard as it is, I’m going to write JULIE PLEC RIGHT NOW, and lift her up! I’m going to write some DE fans RIGHT NOW, and compliment them! 

Check out my page, if you don’t believe! https://twitter.com/AniThompson/with_replies

Who KNOWS what the outcome of this show will be! But I’m not going to allow it to enslave my emotions any longer! Whatever happens, I’m going to LOVE and not HATE! I chose RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LOVE above fury, indignation, and rage! I release myself from the POWER TVD has held over my emotions, the power they’ve held in my LIFE! Today, I chose to be FREE, and no longer a slave to my emotions. 

I STRONGLY encourage you to join the movement! I PROMISE you will not regret it! #LOVEOverTv

The Racist Treatment of Bonnie Bennett

I contemplated coming up with some cool title with a ring to it, or maybe something veiled that made you scratch your head and wonder, before reading further, BUT... why not just call a spade a spade? - “But, BB8fan, that’s such a BOLD statement to make!” I KNOW. But don’t worry, I have the facts to back it up! 

The definition of the adjective “racist” is showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another. In this article, I will prove that Bonnie Bennett has been CONSTANTLY treated, made, and portrayed to feel as though the predominantly white characters of “The Vampire Diaries” were superior to her. #RacistTreatment

DISCLAIMER: LET THIS POST SPARK EMPATHY AND AWARENESS, NOT ANGER AND HATRED, LEST WE BECOME ADVOCATES OF THE VERY THING WE DESPISE... 

Firstly, when it comes to men: 

Bonnie Bennett has been treated, made, and portrayed to be the least desirable of the three female leads of TVD. While Elena was sought after by the hunky Salvatore brothers... and Caroline by the all powerful, Klaus, All-American, Matt, beefcake wolf, Tyler, Professor Alaric Saltzman, AND STEFAN to boot... BONNIE was sought after by Ben (who only wanted to use her), Luka (who only wanted to USE HER), Jeremy (who was grieving over the ex, he later CHEATED ON HER WITH), and Enzo, who had literally exhausted all other options! 

IT IS DISGRACEFUL! IT IS STOMACH CHURNING DISGUSTING, AND BLATANTLY IN YOUR FACE, WHEN YOU PAUSE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT IT! THE RACIST TREATMENT... 

Elena was given the show leads, Caroline was given literally EVERY GUY ON THE SHOW, while Bonnie was whiny Jeremy’s third choice (after Vickie and Anna), and irrelevant Enzo’s third choice, for that matter! (Don’t forget CAROLINE and Lily! ;)

WHY have BOTH of her only relevant love interests end up with her BY DEFAULT?! And WHY IN THE WORLD couldn’t Ben or Luka start out using her, and then GROW TO CARE FOR HER?! Why did her stupid STEP BROTHER not even want her?! She had to literally THROW herself at him! WHY DID THE WRITERS TREAT THE BEAUTIFUL BONNIE BENNETT IN SUCH A DEMEANING MANNER??! In my opinion, she’s the most gorgeous of all the females, but NO. TVD made her undesirable. They put her white friends on a pedestal, and portrayed her as the inferior oddball NOBODY wanted and NOBODY CHOSE FIRST. #RacistTreatment  

But in case you need more evidence... 

Secondly, when it comes to empowerment:

Bonnie Bennett has been treated, made, and portrayed to be the most powerless out of the three female leads of TVD. ‘How so? Elena was a weak human for 3 seasons! And Bonnie’s the baddest witch in the land!’ I’m glad you asked... YES Bonnie’s a fierce witch, and yes, Elena was human for 3 seasons. BUT! 

1) Bonnie was possessed, beyond her control. (S1) 2) Bonnie was held back by Stefan, while Damon KILLED HER MOTHER. (S3) 3) Bonnie was CONSISTENTLY FORCED to do magic for Klaus! (S3) 4) Bonnie helplessly witnessed her grandmother being tortured by the spirits, to the point where she lost the ability to do her magic. (S4)  5) Bonnie had to lay there and watch Jeremy die right in front of her! (S4) 6) Bonnie’s dad was KILLED RIGHT BEFORE HER VERY EYES! (S5) 7) Bonnie lost her magic. (S5) 8) Bonnie became the anchor, and had to undergo enormous magnitudes of pain. (S5) 9) Bonnie was stabbed, chased, and tormented by Kai. (S6)  10) Bonnie had no magic. (S6) 11) Bonnie was hunted by the armory and had no magic. (S7) 12) Bonnie had NO MAGIC! (S8)

So yes, Bonnie’s an all powerful witch! But HALF THE SERIES she’s spent WITHOUT HER MAGIC! Elena was weak and human, and used for the cure! BUT Bonnie has been used as a magical tool EVERY OTHER EPISODE - and by literally EVERY character on the show! It’s not just Klaus and Katherine who’ve made her feel powerless! BUT Damon, Stefan, Katherine, Klaus, Silas, Enzo, and EVERYONE!!! 

Elena watched Jenna die. But Bonnie watched Jeremy AND her DAD die! She found her Grams dead, and was held back while her Mom was killed! 

This woman has been beaten down in ways that are just deplorable and unheard of! She has been FORCED, she has been ABUSED, she has been TRAUMATIZED in the appalling ways she’s been made to feel and be POWERLESS! More times and with more damaging magnitudes than with any other female lead! Fight me on this! It’s #RacistTreatment

But just in case you still REFUSE to see the light...

Lastly, when it comes to worth: 

This is the most serious and damaging of them all! Fine! Portray your only lead POC character as undesirable! Portray her as powerless! But worthless? This is just unacceptable... But TVD did it! My gosh they DID it with Bonnie Bennett!  

Caroline doesn’t put her life above Elena’s so why should Bonnie? TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN??! And then not only does she do it with Elena, she does it FOR JEREMY TOO!!! She literally GAVE HER LIFE for the two them! For Jeremy to be alive, and for Elena to be “happy,” she GAVE UP HER LIFE, because it is worth THAT little! Or so the show would have Bonnie believe, - AND the other characters, as no one has ever corrected her, - and we, the viewing audience! 

This is unhealthy, abusive, and DAMAGING, this belief system! But it has gone unchecked and uncorrected for YEARS! AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY,  the one time people claim their “superior” white faves did sacrifice for Bonnie is complete BS! Talk about #RacistTreatment

The ignorance of the show BLEEDS into the fans/viewers of it, and it is SCARY! To say that Elena or Damon sacrificed ANYTHING in season 6, when Kai linked her life to Bonnie’s, is not only absurd, it’s HORRIFYING! I don’t know if people are losing brain cells watching this terribly written show, but Elena was IN A MAGICAL COMA! That was done! It happened! -- NOW. The loophole is that she could wake up, IF BONNIE DIES! So when people say Elena sacrificed, and Damon sacrificed, they’re literally saying “Delena didn’t KILL Bonnie, they’re supposed best friend! What a sacrifice!” 

They’re literally patting them on the back, for not MURDERING their “friend!” Do you realize how messed up that is?!... But then again, a messed up ship breeds messed up fans! And a messed up show breeds messed up viewers! Bonnie’s life isn’t worth anything! That’s been the running theme of the show! So why wouldn’t viewers pat DE on the back for not killing her?! She isn’t worth crap! 

“Bonnie’s superiors are her white friends, and she needs to be ready and willing to lay down her life for them, at all times!” 

That’s the message of TVD. I am SICK. I am utterly disgusted and SICK! I cannot BELIEVE I wasted SO MANY years of my life on this show, thinking they cared about this beautiful person of color! CONVINCING myself they were saving Bonnie for DAMON, and that was the reason for her lack of love interest! Reasoning they were making Bonnie a stronger, more layered character, by putting her through so much crap! Believing they’d have the right man DECLARE Bonnie’s worth to her, and put a stop to her self harm!

NOOO! 

They’re not saving Bonnie for Damon. Why would they put the “inferior black girl” with one of the most desirable males of the series?! Even though Bamon is canon in the books, they will not even share a KISS! They will be the only important book!ship left COMPLETELY UNEXPLORED (they even did Meredith/Alaric!), when if this were Bonnie Mccullough they’d already be MARRIED! 

You know, back in season 3 of the show, I started to wish for Bonnie’s death. I thought, ‘if her character is going to be used and abused THIS much, she might as well be gone... Kat Graham deserves better, and I deserve better than to be stuck watching this show for her!’ But TVD kept her alive. They kept their token black person to keep their demographic viewers.

And yeah, a couple seasons later things seemed to be getting better... but then season 8 happened. :/ But I guess I should be thankful! My eyes are OPENED because of it. 

Bonnie Bennett is ENDLESSLY treated, made, and portrayed to feel undesirable, powerless, and worthless, next to her white friends. It’s #RacistTreatment and she deserves better. Kat Graham deserves better. And we as VIEWERS deserve better. 

I am SO DONE with this show, and I hope you will be to! Don’t put yourself through the heartache! Don’t put yourself through the twisted brainwash! I wish more than ever now that Bonnie Bennett would die. There’s just no winning. :/ She deserves better than emo Enzo AND self-centered Damon, who doesn’t give a crap about her! So just kill her! The writers have been emotionally stabbing her from the beginning anyways... 

I’m hurt. This hurts me... In a world full of constant injustice for people of color, I thought I was finally witnessing a powerful character... an attractive and beautiful black woman, who would be cared for and loved by others... It turns out she was nothing more than a plot line punching bag, created to make Elena, Caroline, the writers, and the viewers of this show feel better about themselves. :/ The abuse Bonnie Bennett has undergone has abused me worst than I think I’ve ever experienced in life. They have subliminally consistently told me I am less desirable, less powerful, and less worthy. I didn’t realize it before unfortunately, but I realize it now! And I’m DONE listening to the lies!

Well, I hope this article has enlightened you all! Don’t get so happy next time you see a diverse cast! Pay attention to the way the show/movie TREATS their people of color! Don’t be fooled, and left heartbroken and damaged, after believing and putting your faith and support into complete filth... 

Last, but not least, don’t let the ugly behavior of this world turn you into the very thing you despise. Fight hate with LOVE! And remember, we’re all brothers and sisters, whether we like it or not! 

Pray for the writers of TVD. Pray for the actors. Pray for it’s fans. Pray that they see the error of their ways, and learn to love and treat others the way they’d want to be treated... We all make mistakes. We’re all human. “We all have sinned.” Now it’s about moving FORWARD from that, and not repeating the same mistakes! :)

P.S. Go show Kat Graham’s twitter page some love! As hurt as I am by Bonnie’s treatment, she’s probably 10x more hurt! It’s probably why she decided to leave the show! She knew things weren’t going to get any better for her... :/ Anyhow, go show her some love! Thank her for gifting us with the lovely Bonnie Bennett! And compliment her on being the gorgeous and talented PROFESSIONAL she has always been! 

God bless!

Mannn... When Bamon finally happens...

It’s going to be REALLY hard to keep my chill! - Not talking about the gushing! I’m cool and resolved to that necesity! It’s the inner petty I’m worried about… :o Jesus take the WHEEL! Because honestly after all the crap we’ve endured from this ugly fandom for 8 YEARS?!?!?!!! I feel like

And I’m ready to release a whole freakin ALBUM, and that ain’t even my SPIRIT! I need prayer! :o

[jessicaworld90-deactivated20191]

Definitely lol !!! 

I have been saying this since 8*03. This episode was so foreshadowing Bamon happening when Damon caught the bouquet for BE happily ever after. It meant that Damon will come between them. And when he said “Poor Bon Bon, always the bridesmaid never the bride” I knew she would become his bride in the future. It was was foreshadowing canon Bamon. I think we will get a Bamon wedding too in the finale. It’s possible, especially if they do a time jump in the finale.

And of course Sybil asking Bonnie if her and Damon ever had sex and Bonnie denied it in 8*03 was a parallel to when in S5 Katherine asked Caroline if her and Stefan ever had sex and Caroline denied it.

BAMON IS COMING !!!!

[bb8fan]

Dang. Bonnie misses Elena BECAUSE IF SHE WERE THERE DAMON WOULDN’T BE DOING WHAT “ANY OF THIS???!”

THAT’S her sole reason for missing the girl??! What I get out of this line is the CONSTANT REMINDER AND VERIFICATION that Bonnie Bennett does NOT know her WORTH in Damon Salvatore’s life and heart! Which is okay I guess, because it makes sense... If Bonnie knew I believe she’d fight for him! But in her eyes, she can’t fight for him, because she doesn’t mean enough! Maybe she even thinks she doesn’t mean ANYTHING! :/ When he left to desiccate “for Elena,” he cemented that fear into her mind, making it a living breathing reality to her. But she knows what she means to Enzo. Bonnie KNOWS her worth with him, so she fights for HIM, because it’s the only thing she can do to stay sane, while she hopelessly longs for a person she feels helpless, powerless, and meaningless to. :/ 

It’s a tragedy. 

I sure hope and pray something happens to where Bonnie finally gains the knowledge of what she truly means to Damon Salvatore! I’m sick and tired of her being ignorant! I’m sick and tired of her being a shadow of herself, clinging to a love that is a mere distraction and flicker in comparison to the roaring flame that threatens to swallow her whole!

Bonnie Bennett is heartbroken. And if she takes one step away from Enzo. If she moves one inch out of the protective bubble she’s encased herself in with him. All of the hurt and pain will come crashing in, I believe. 

It’s much like Stefan in season 3, determinedly behaving like he didn’t feel, because when he let himself feel, all he felt was “pain.” Bonnie determinedly behaves indifferent to Damon, while investing herself into her love for Enzo. Because if she acknowledges Damon, and his true weight in her heart, all she feels is “pain.” Heartbreaking rejection, helplessness, longing, and PAIN. 

If having Damon back to normal is Bonnie’s reason for missing Elena. Maybe that statement would be more accurately spoken, “I miss Damon?” 

Just some food for though...

[annofarkansas]

Is this Kevin Williamson's idea??

The guy is a really good screenwriter and he is also in acting is he not? Didn’t he develop this show? I thought everyone said he would be around to write and be involved in season 8. It’s just…this season! God bless the actors here doing their best with such out of character,confusing plot and crazy scenes I think they are doing best they can. And I will even include actors who play characters I think should have been long gone by now. Not saying any names here but good grief. Series finale seasons for shows like The Vampire Diaries you would think could have some amazing episodes to build up to some awesome showdown and have great character interaction and I cannot recognize half the characters on here that I cared about. I thought with all the rumored involvement of this Kevin Williamson that it would be an amazing season and folks this is just a series that is limping across the finish line and no, it is NOT because of missing Nina Dobrev. It is because they failed to properly capitalize on the creative storyline put in place to explain her departure. Having never explored Bonnie’s character and Bamon fully plus messing up Caroline they alienated a huge base of viewers as well as lost potential viewers. Devoting too much screen-time to non-central characters (and characters who areSLEEPING🤔) and writing characters out of character. This is bad writing from people who have proven they could have delivered better. And it’s a shame they could have set up a lucrative cash cow with successful and entertaining spin offs but the psychotic disjointed plots and episodes have put us far beyond resuscitation measures. But acting like ratings tank is all because ND departed at end of season 6 is ludicrous. That had an impact but there was so much wasted potential. TVD could have lasted two more years if written differently. Oh well. Just frustrating I really loved this show and Season 8 is like a train headed toward a brick wall. And before anyone thinks I am another disgruntled shipper I ship last. Characters first and ships later. I loved Stelena, Delena and Forwood, klause/Caroline and potential of Bamon blew me away. This is not about shipping. It is watching a show I used to recommend become unrecognizable. I hope all actors can find substantial work after this. And I encourage everyone to pen your own creative season 8 rewrites 🤓

[bb8fan]

It’s just IGNORANT, @annofarkansas! :/ I really don’t know what made the writers think this was a good idea. It’s catastrophic! :o They’re REALLY gonna have to put in some work to turn this around! It’s scary! I’m gonna need BAMON! I’m gonna need Stelena, personally. And I’m gonna need these characters to start talking about and acknowledging SOME faith, hope, and redemption in a source more powerful than another human being of the opposite sex! :/ I’m gonna NEED that.

[bb8fan]

Maybe... just MAYBE we should be grateful?

Today I found myself thinking about the patterns of TVD, and in doing that, I started to wonder, ‘is this monstrosity going down really so out of the ordinary?’ The lack of bamon thus far in the season? The painful FORCING of Bonenzo? Is this really so blasphemously new and unheard of?? I realized that the answer was resounding NO! 

The writers have always, ALWAYS brought in Bamon at the end, to heatedly - irrevocably wrap the season!

Pause and think about it, and you’ll realize as well! Majority of our most monumental Bamon moments were received during the tail end of the season! Bamon dance - 2x18, Bamon hug - 4x15, Bamon “thank you” - 1x22, LOADS of delicious Bamon scenes (#TeamBonnie) - 3x21, Bamon DYING TOGETHER - 5X22! IN THE END!!! Writers even did it season 6! The only difference was, with season 6, we were SO BLESSED to have EPIC Bamon scenes both in the beginning AND in the end!!! 

Even just think back to last season! Aside from our “3 seconds” speech in 7x01, we received THE MOST PIVOTAL Bamon moments IN THE LATTER PART OF THE SEASON!!! 

The more I thought about it, the more confident I became that that is JUST what is happening this time around! 

BUT Our Bamon time is COMING. Mark my words, because Bamon is JUST as much inevitable as they were season 1, - even more so! They WILL happen! They literally have NO CHOICE, BUT to! They’ve been happening little by little each season of the show. EVERYTHING has been pointing to them, since the beginning of the series! EVERYTHING IS BAMON, AND EVERYTHING HURTS!!! They are epic.

And maybe, just maybe, we should be grateful this final season, because, at least we don’t have to suffer through Delena, until it’s Bamon time! At least we don’t have to witness Bonnie being put on the back burner time and TIME AGAIN! Nope! This time we get to witness Bonenzo. And this time it’s Damon who’s on the back burner. It’s kind of perfect in a way. Perfect symmetry. 

I’m starting to think that instead of Elena and Jeremy being equivalent obstacles for Bamon, it’s KATHERINE and Jeremy who were equal obstacles. And ENZO and Elena, who are equals! But rest assured, BAMILY! 

Bamon time is COMING! Bamon time is ON. THE. WAY. And I’m thinking they might just knock us off of our FEET! Lord knows they gave us some amazing things last season! I have been PRAYING SO HARD for Bamon!!! I hope our OTP give us more than we could’ve dreamed, hoped, or imagined! I’m hopeful! I’m more hopeful than ever before. I can’t wait to see it all unfold!!!!!!!!

[xivannadaqueenx]

I’m with you!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[jessicaworld90-deactivated20191]

I totally agree. Bamon have time to happen. Enzo will be the mid-season death and Bamon will start from there. They always start mid-seaon until the finale in EVERY SEASONS. I believe they are endgame.

Also, I’m so done over BE. Episode 6, writers hinted at Enzo dying soon when he said to Bonnie “It would have been too cruel for me to live a life without being loved and then he thanked Bonnie for loving him, so now writer achieved their goals with Enzo and he can die in peace & without regrets. He is definitely the mid-season death, all he wanted was to be loved and he was so now they can kill him. 

Also it’s kind of weird that BE are so happy, so quickly. I mean it’s TVD and JP’s rule to break couples that are happy so early on the season. If it was the finale I would be yeah BE is endgame but they are clearly not. I mean, since the beginning of the season, they didn’t even have “normal scenes”. You know, like talking about their projects together, or simply cuddling silently, or eating, or laughing or some sort of “common conversation”. So far, they keep making love confessions and declarations to each other every single time, in every single scene, you know? It’s like their only conversation. That’s why BE feels pushed : it’s like JP is putting layers and layers of “epic speeches” in all their scenes to prove a point and make them happy. They always open their mouths to say some cheesy, deep thing to each other but never to simply say “I love you” or “Let’s make dinner”. You get my point? It’s curious. That’s why I hate it. It’s so forced. Like any normal couple doesn’t keep on making love declaration speeches to the other very time they talk. It’s just unrealistic and it feels forced.

Just like it’s too early on a show like TVD for BE to be happy, it’s also too soon for SC to be engaged in ep 2 it means they won’t get married and they hinted at it too in ep6. So BE will break up coz Enzo will die and SC won’t get their june wedding because of Stefan selling his soul to Cade. I still think SC/BD will be endgame just that SC won’t get married. Nina is definitely not coming back she hints at it in every interviews she does she has no intention to come back to TVD she just doesn’t want to.

Yea most definitely, the Enzo/Bonnie relationship is just so fake lol and not only tht but Plec and Kevin aren’t even trying with it, they just throw in a few love declarations and a couple kisses and thts it, there’s no substance, they don’t even show them making love, when every couple on this show has been shown making love, like tht for me would piss me off if I was a bonenzo shipper I would be like well why can’t we ever see them be intimate, this last episode was the morning after and Bonnie is jumping up to get dressed lmao, like really and we are supposed to believe they are so in love. It’s a joke. Plec had a chance to work on bonenzo since season 5 and she chose not to instead they chose to have bamon grow closer and Enzo be obsess with Lily lol so now they took the opportunity to have Enzo play the role as being the obstacle for bamon and we saw this when Damon was jealous and pissed at the bonenzo relationship. Bonnie will lose Enzo and Damon will be her salvation tht is obviously how they are going to play this. To just throw two ppl together in the ending of a season and claim they are so in love is for only one reason and tht is to create angst and to create a doorway to the intended couple which is bamon.

TEAM BAMON!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Yup! YES!!! I love this, and I agree 100 percent! I didn’t realize it until you and the person above mentioned it, but that’s EXACTLY what the writers are doing! Love declaration after MEANINGLESS LOVE DECLARATION! It’s exactly like DE did actually! They lived their lives being the most toxic couple to ever grace the television screen, all the while hurling declarations of love at one another, as if that made them less of a disgrace! I am TELLING you! BE equals DE! It is UNCANNY! However, I would much rather Caroline be the midseason death than Enzo! :/ Don’t think they’ll do it, and I’m pretty sure I’m alone in this wish! But I do not, DO NOT, under any circumstances want Bonnie and Damon, the most EPIC PAIRING OF THE SERIES, to end up together by default. :/ I would hate that with a BURNING PASSION! Almost as much as seeing a BE love scene play out on my screen. Thank GOD the writers aren’t THAT cruel! I guess we really do need to be grateful and count our blessings! Ooh whee! We dodged a BULLET with that blessing! :o

Yea the fact tht Damon would do something horrible and then Elena would excuse his behavior then they would say a love speech and then jump in the sack, like their love was more like lust and they would take all their frustrations out while screwing and the next day repeat, how is tht healthy?? Elena freaking out when Damon was stuck in the prison world because she couldn’t live without him was just so pathetic she couldn’t even grieve for Bonnie because all tht mattered was Damon. They are doing the same thing to Bonnie, wanting to kill herself for Enzo and not thinking about anyone else especially Damon since he’s in this mess because of her. It’s all just really horrible writing and i am really shocked tht Kevin is allowing such awful decisions to be made.

I do agree with you about not wanting them to be together just because there’s no one else to be with, I want them to admit to knowing tht it was always them and tht they always knew they were meant to be. I know Damon’s letter will play a huge part in Bonnie realizing tht Damon has always cared and has always chose her even when it seemed like he didn’t because in Bonnie’s eyes Damon can’t let go of Elena, she thinks he desiccated for her and she thinks he gave into Sybil because he can’t live without Elena. So she’s using Enzo as an escape goat. I love Caroline I do but I just wish she could have a more meaningful storyline for once and not just the girl to keep a man warm. In fact all these storylines are just tiring and overused.

What makes you so positive Damon’s letter will come back into play, much less play a big role in Bamon’s reunion? I would LOVE to see this happen!!! I think it would be AMAZING! I would also love, and frankly NEED Bamon to admit to one another that it was ALWAYS THEM! They tried to deny it, they were afraid, they fought to be with others, but it was THEM all along! For Bonnie, it’s always been Damon, and for Damon it’s always been Bonnie’s heart pulling and pulling him closer, calling to him, while he CRIED for her! :)

I would like to think that this whole letter situation wasn’t just dangled in front of us for the better half of season 7, just for nothing. Like how cruel to show us tht Damon took the time to write a letter to Bonnie but then never let us see what it said. Tht is seriously going to piss me off if they take tht from us. I hope it is used for Bonnie to finally see how much she means to Damon and despite his constant thinking he needs Elena and only Elena that really it’s Bonnie who has made him the better person because she always believed in him. Their love confession has to be epic, every other fandom on this show has got a chance to watch their favorite couple except for the bamons and now it is our turn. We have waited for many yrs, some of us since season 1 so come on Kevin, give it to us!!

[bb8fan]

I hope you’re right! I just really don’t trust the writers sometimes to bring things back up! I TRUST them to make Bamon a reality! But when it comes to digging into the past, to illustrate how TRULY MEANT TO BE they are, and have ALWAYS BEEN?! Not so much… :/ And I agree! :D Bamon’s love declaration HAS to be EPIC! In fact, EVERYTHING about Bamon has to be epic! First reunion encounter, first kiss, FIRST TIME TOGETHER! EV-ER-E-THING!!!!! 

[jen-jen83]

Omg can u even fathom the first kiss or making love!!!! I seriously will be up all night because I won’t be able to sleep after seeing such beautifulness! Yea last we saw of the letter Bonnie shoved it in Damon’s chest so he would have to be the one to initiate her reading it. It’s definitely not a shock for Plec just to forget something like tht, majority of her writing is plot holes and shit she expects and hopes we forget. Ugh tht woman. I just hope we get some good bamon and not just them coming together at the last second I want good bamon scenes before the end. I trust Kevin, tht is the only thing tht has kept me going, although so far it seems he isn’t pushing for anything like he’s letting Plec do it all but this is kevin Williamson and he will come swinging in at the last second lol.

[bb8fan]

Lol! I hope so! I just wish we didn’t have to go through 7 EPISODES OF LITERAL HELL, before he took his boxing gloves out! ;) These writers are really testing us this season! I mean they are putting us through the RINGER! I can’t take it! Call me up, when Bamon reunites! ;) ... Omgsh though!!!!!!!!! I - wow. I wasn’t really thinking about it when I typed it, but you are SO RIGHT! When Bonnie and Damon finally KISS, or MAKE LOVE?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!! That’s the night I won’t get any rest either! I won’t be able to stop GUSHING about them on every form of social media known to man!!! Not to mention I will have to watch the scene OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I should hope these both take place NEXT YEAR, as I have an EXTREMELY busy work schedule right now, and really don’t need to be having any sleepless nights! :o ;) ... Words cannot EXPRESS how much I need them in my LIFE right now though!!! I believe AMERICAN needs them! Lol. They would truly make this whole world a better place.
